Choosing the Right Coverstock for Your Bowling Ball
Selecting the perfect bowling ball involves considering a range of factors such as coverstocks, weight blocks, pin locations, and top weights. While finding the right ball for your style may seem daunting, there are plentiful online resources to guide your decision.
Understanding Coverstocks
The coverstock is the outer surface of a bowling ball, influencing its reaction on the lanes. Typically, balls have either a dull or shiny finish. This characteristic is set by the manufacturer but can be altered with polish or a dulling compound.
Shiny vs. Dull Coverstocks
- Shiny Coverstocks: They tend to create more length down the lane before the ball reaches its breakpoint and begins to hook.
- Dull Coverstocks: This type rolls up earlier, appearing to have more hook because it reaches the breakpoint sooner.
Match Your Coverstock to Lane Conditions
- Slick Lanes (More Oil): Opt for a dull coverstock. The added friction helps the ball roll earlier, counteracting the oil that delays its rotation.
- Dry Lanes (Less Oil): Choose a shiny coverstock. It reduces friction, allowing the ball to skid further before hooking, even though dry lanes naturally promote earlier roll.
Expert Advice
The coverstock is crucial in matching your game to lane conditions effectively. For personalized advice, consult a local bowling ball pro shop operator. They can provide valuable insights by observing your game and discussing your current equipment.
